This is a nice state park. It has big spacious lots, both drive through and back in. There are sites with water and electric, and site with water. None have sewer. The lake itself and is large and there is a beach and fishing docks. The first thing we noticed was an abundance of words and the second under of prairie dogs. There were prairie dog mounds and holes all over our campsite and they were fun to watch. If you don't like prairie dogs park nearer the gate. The prairie dog town is around sites 37 and higher. There is an old, noisy, smelly, pump jack still pumping sweet crude near the washrooms. The steady thumping would have driven me crazy during the night so we parked far away. The washrooms were older and need a paint job but they were clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. We were there in December and it was very quiet, less than 1/4 full. - Judy Birchland

An older Texas State Park with very little shade other than from mesquite trees. The sites are fairly level, with a concrete patio and covered picnic table which did provide some shade. It was too hot to walk any of the hiking trails, but we did enjoy watching the prairie dogs and looking at the birds on the lake. The rangers were very helpful and friendly. - dands

This is a clean, but somewhat dated park. We stayed in site #20 in one of the "pinwheels" next to the lake. Each pinwheel includes one very long pull through. Our site was very grassy, spacious, and had a patio with metal roof, picnic table, and fire ring.

This park had several unique features. First the good: (1) There is a self-serve firewood kiosk (that takes credit cards only!) right by the main gate. This is so helpful, especially if you arrive after hours. (2) Prairie Dog Town (as listed on the park map) is absolutely full of playful prairie dogs that are fun to see. (3) There is a neat 18 hole disc (Frisbee) golf course that we enjoyed. On the other hand, there is a noisy, horsehead oil pump that runs 24/7 right across from this loop. We could easily hear it inside and out; it bothered different ones of us to different extents.

We had excellent LTE cell signal (AT&T) and got about 6 channels via OTA antenna. If you need supplies, town is probably 15-20 mins away.

Other campers said the fishing is often quite good. Looks like a great place to bring along the boat. The staff was very friendly. We would return, but probably as a stopover rather than a destination. - texasAUtiger

The rate we paid was $100 for the week. It is very adequate for our needs. This is a very small town (3200 pop.) and we were here for our granddaughter's high school graduation. The sites are grassy and level, some provide shade (we chose one that didn't because of satellite reception) and the park is quiet. Utilities worked very well. The owners are very friendly. Shopping is in either in Graham (25 miles) or Wichita Falls (45 miles). Come prepared. Olney Cafe is the only place to eat in town. Good food. - rdoghse

The park is located near the river and has a lake next to the park. The sites are wide and many are very long. The staff is very friendly. Easy access for a big rig. All the services are good and the WiFi is also good. The sites are well lite at night. We found it to be a nice park to visit the area. Enjoyed the park we will return here again . - JDR

Great place to stay. Level gravel sites with concrete pads and picnic table but no grill. Laundry was $2.25 to wash about $2.25 to dry (25 cents for 8 min). Showers were clean and presentable. Ladies at the office were extremely helpful and polite Close to downtown and all shopping facilities. Wifi was great but my cable had a problem (my cable to the box). I still received 13 channels on my antenna. The park is well lit if you like walking in the evening. The power checked ok with my surge protector. There are quite a few permanent residents, but plenty of room for all. Pull thru was extremely long and easy to access. This time of the year, the pool was closed. Large dog park area and a nice pond to walk around. Very clean and quiet. This place is a winner. I will be back if ever in the area. - G W

Stayed only one night. This is a large, very nice park close to town with LOTS of amenities- especially for kids. A bit pricey but excellent service and large, concrete pull though sites with patios, tables and fire rings. The owners have invested a lot into this resort. - GretasDad

This campground is wonderful for families as there is a lot for little ones to do. It's pricey, so not a place you'd visit often...but if you're looking for somewhere extra special for the kids in Wichita Falls, this is it. We have a 40' fifth wheel and stayed in a pull through. Nice space, close but not too close to your neighbors. No trees, very open...so that may or may not be a pro. Bathhouse was clean. There are individual bathrooms, which are great for families as you can have the kids go potty, shower and brush their teeth all in your private area. There was not a changing table in the room I used. Laundry room is in the same area as tha bathrooms, so you could do laundry while getting everyone ready for bed. Now, having said all of this, there are only a couple of bathhouses, so they might get busy. They were not, when I used them...but it was late (around 9:30p). Property has two small pools, a really nice splash area, putt/putt that is well maintained, a very nice playground and a fun maze. There are also some sweet animals on property that you can say hi too. And the office has weekend activities scheduled. Staff was nice and the property was clean. At&t service was strong. Trash is picked up, from your site, at 10a. Check out was 12noon, so you'll have time in the morning for the kids to play. If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely stay again. - atlantafamilyof4

Campground is geared towards kids and families with the Jellystone theme. Since we are elderly and were only overnighting, we did not take advantage of any of the amenities. The main area was crawling with kids, bikes, golf carts, strollers, etc. with varying degrees of adult supervision, or lack thereof. The RV sites were in the back, in the open, with asphalt roads and long concrete pads. Grass between the sites with picnic tables, and fire ring. Campground was clean. Privacy dictated by number and spacing of campers. - WinnMac

This is a no-frills city park right next to the interstate. There are both back-in and pull-through sites, but the layout of the pull-throughs is a bit odd. We experienced no power problems in our site. We were confused by only some sites having water, but then realized later the intended water hookups are underground for each site. There are a lot of stickers from weeds in the grass, so be careful with pets. There is a very large park across a suspension bridge. It did feel a little sketchy, but it is well-lit at night and we didn't experience any problems. You'll definitely want to run your a/c fan at night to drown out the interstate. Overall we're satisfied with it as an overnight stop while on the road. - Brad & Angela

In town RV park run by the city. It doesn't have bathrooms, but does have water and 30A electric on site with a free dump station on your way out. It is a clean park with blacktop roads and slip. Some sites have picnic tables and lighting is good at night. It is self registering at the entrance. The only problem with this place is we had a lot of sketchy people walking and driving around like they were casing your property. We also had a guy knocking on rv doors asking for gas money at night. We did not feel safe and would not stay again. They should get a workcamp host to stay on site. The power went out in the whole park twice on our second night. Also didn't see any police patrol the grounds. Keep your doors locked and be aware of your surroundings. - Rerler

Right off the highway so there is road noise. I've heard a train but it's far enough away. Noisy overall but with air conditioning on it shouldn't be an issue. Great for a day or two but not a destination park! 50 amp and water work great! - Candy pop
